Hi Peter, I tried the above and it didn't open the HP backend. After many hours of tweaking, I found that doing this makes scanimage find the scanner: "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib scanimage -L" I'm not sure why this is happening. I'm using RH9. If I compile the newest sane-backends, scanimage works fine. I'll investigate further and post more findings. Has anyone encountered similar problems with this scanner? Thanks, Yao
